Subject: That sounds so familiar...

Hello!

Everytime I hear the intro of "Heaven" by Bryan Adams, it reminds me of the french-speaking song "Là-bas" by Jean-Jacques Goldman and Sirima.

Listen to "Là-bas" at https://archive.org/details/jeanjacquesgoldmansirimalabas1987 - especially to the instrumental intro starting at 0:07.
Musically speaking, it's not the same intro as for Bryan Adam's "Heaven" and its intro - however, it gives me the same vibe and the same nostalgia.

When "Heaven" starts, I look forward to listening to a great song ("Là-bas"), but it then turns into "Heaven", which usually takes me several seconds to understand that it's not the song I was hoping for - kind of disappointing every time this happens. ;-)
(I don't like "Heaven" that much, that's for sure; I really, really prefer "Là-bas" over "Heaven".)

If you want to know more about "Là-bas", read it here:
- the song itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A0-bas_(song)
- Jean-Jacques_Goldman, who wrote the song and sings the male part of the duet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Goldman
- Sirima, who sang the female part in "Là-bas": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirima
